Ah yes, it felt like I’d never left. Unfortunately.

That’s right, today I went back to work for the first time since I broke my foot, back on the last Friday of November. I was given the all clear for my foot on the fifth. It, however, has s ome discomfort now that I have been on it for work. It’s a slight worry, but the doc said it would heal itself. It’s been near on six weeks now, which is how long it was supposed to take, but clearly it hasn’t healed entirely yet. It’s not really posing a problem, though.

I guess this kind of hails the end of my good times. Well, I don’t want to think of it that way. I should think of it more as “back to the routine”. The past week or two has been pretty lazy for me. I have spent a lot of time playing Sonic games. An unhealthy amount of time, even. I have also been spending a lot of time browsing the forums of Sonic Retro, as I came across their Sonic 2 HD project, which looks utterly tasty. Sonic the Hedgehog 2 is the first game I ever loved. It started while watching my eldest sister Kelly’s boyfriend (and now husband) Glen playing it on his Sega Mega Drive. The Sonic 2 HD project will be the same wonderful game, just with updated, beautiful graphics which are based faithfully on the original sprites, just High Definition. Example:

Forgive my geekitude, but I just CAN’T WAIT for them to make this game. Despite my current projects, I’m toying with the idea of contributing, if I can get their “uber” art style down.

Anyway, that’s it from the world of Natalie today.
